How to Choose Platform Scales
Precision platform scales are widely used in laboratory, industrial, and related applications where a high degree of weighing accuracy is required. In addition to weighing mundane items such as packages a platform scale is used for piece counting, net-total recipe weighing, and percentage determination that shows the deviation from a reference weight.
Platform balances such as the Kern DE series available from Tovatech are available in a variety of models, enabling users to specify the correct scale based on their requirements. These scales have maximum weighing capacities from 6 kilograms to 300 kilograms (approximately 13 to 660 pounds). Other models weigh up to 600 kilograms.
How to use a Counting Scale System for Large Quantities
When large quantities of small or lightweight pieces are being packaged for market accurate inventory control and accurate billing depend on highly accurate counting scale systems. In such cases connecting a precision reference scale to a platform scale gives an extremely high degree of weighing and counting accuracy even when individual pieces weigh as little as 0.002 gram.
That is the precision realized by the Kern CDEE piece counting system available from Tovatech. It consists of a CDE digital platform balance available in capacities from 35 to 150 kg (77 to 300 pounds) connected by an interface cable to a Kern CME reference balance offered in capacities from 100 to 3000 grams (3.5 oz to 6.6 pounds). The readout for both models depends on the maximum weighing range but is as low as 1 gram for the platform balance and 0.001 gram for the reference balance. This versatile combination … Read the rest
